The present invention generally relates to a building construction. More particularly, this invention relates to a modular building construction that is installed by assembling precast modular building elements such as wall panels, floor panels, columns, stairs, window frame panels and doorframes, all made of concrete.
Multi-storey building units are normally constructed by the conventional method of construction wherein every component of the pbuilding is cast or formed at the site by pouring congrete into temporary moldings containing the structural frameworks or merely assembling a plurality of hollow blocks. This conventional process of pbuilding construction is already an established system with a time element, cost estimates, necessary manpower , machineries, construction material, labor and whatever deemed necessary in the art, already establishedat a certain specification standard. As far as - installation cost saving is concerned, there is not much that can be had by adapting such conventional method of building construction.
There are certain modular building constructions adapted in the art, but they are characterized by complexity of design and method of assembly which require a certain level of expertise and highly skilled manpower. Because of such features, same is unpopular and fails to attract the interest of building contractors and technical experts in the field.
The present invention seeks to overcome the shortcoming and disadvantages of the prior art by providing a modular building construction and the method of installation thereof which can be . carried out in such a short period of time using an average level of skill or expertise. With the construction method in association with the precast modular building elements of the present invention, construction time involved in erecting a building unit is much reduced, and the workers needed are much lesser in number as compared with that of the conventional way. Assembly or installation of modular building elements, in order of succession by floor level, is easily carried out by just weldedly attaching or connecting steel connecting means or connectors provided to said elements which are brought together in an abutting relation.
It is therefore the main object of the present invention to provide a modular building construction and method of installation thereof that has a much-reduced assembly time and does not need a high level of expertise or skills in the construction thereof.
Another object thereof is to provide a modular building construction which, when constructed in the method herein disclosed, generates a significant saving in almost all aspects of a building construction.
Still another object thereof is to provide a modular building construction that comprises precast modular building elements which are very sim ple and efficient in design and construction.
Yet another object thereof is to provide a modular building construction that has design features that meet the specification standard required of a building construction.
A further object thereof is to provide a modular building construction and method of assembly thereof that outwits the foreign technology in its simplicity, efficiency and modernity, thereby very much competitive as far as the marketing aspect thereof is concerned.

Said dowel connectors 18 of a lower wall panel "L" is connected to the dowel connector 19 of an upper wall panel "U" by welding process with the welded section designated by "W" all throughout the description.
An in-between floor panel "F" has its flange rested on top of said panel "L" almost halfway across thereof and said panel "U" resting on said floor panel ‘F’ having its horizontal bar connector 29 weldedly connected to said connector 18. A mortar packing designated all throughout herein as "P" is filled or poured into said recessed section 20 and the space 30 outwardly between the ends of said wall panels. A floor topping “wpe is then applied on the floor panel.
An interior wall-to-wall connection with in-between floor panels on opposite sides is shown in Fig. 5B. Connections are the same as that of Fig. 5A except that an opposite floor panel is added in the assembly. The bar connectors 29 of both floor panels are weldedly connected together as shown in same Fig. 5B. Mortar packing P and floor topping 'T are likewise applied thereafter.
Figures 6A and ©6B show a side connection between floor panels in assembly. Floor panels are attached together by abutting their respective connectors 26 and welding them permanently before filling them up with mortar packing P. In installation, it is preferred that a filler steel bar 31 is adapted to be laid over the gap between said abutting connectors 26 and welding said bar 31 onto said connectors 26 as shown by welded sections W in Fig. 6B. This set-up securely holds the floor panels in their permanent places with a resulting strength and capacity of assemblage meeting the specification standard of building construction. The abutting flanges 24 as shown in Fig. 6B function as a supporting beam for supporting the flooring.
Building foundations 32 are shown in Figs. 7a, 7B and 7C which are provided with reinforcing rebars 33 as normally done in a conventional building construction. At a location along where the panel walls are erected, the foundation are provided with upwardly extending anchor steel bars 34 spacedly disposed to correspond the connectors 19 of said wall panels. Said wall panels are installed in place by weldedly connecting said anchor bars and connectors 19 as shown in Figs. 7A to 7C. Figures 7A, 7B and 7C respectively show an exterior wall-to-foundation connection, interior wall-to-foundation connection and partition-wall-to-foundation connection. The recessed section of said wall panel is then filled up with mortar packing P.
In fig. 8, there is shown said column 15 that is erected or anchored on a foundation 35 through their respective plate connectors 36 and 37 welded together along their peripheries as shownby welded section “W. Said plates 36 and 37 are weldedly connected to reinforcing rebars 38 and 39, respectively, of said column and foundation. A space gap 40 between them surrounding the plates is then filled up with mortar packing ‘P?
The stair of the present invention is also precast and modular that comprises precast modular stringers 41 and treads 42 to be assembled at the site. Said stringer is provided with reinforcing steel bars 43 embedded along its length. A plate connector 44 which is fixed at the upper portion of said stringer is anchored thereto by pended rebars 45 embedded therein. A plate 46 is also provided at the base portion of said stringer which is to be weldedly connected to said plate connector 44 in assembly as shown in Fig. 9. The first stringer that is anchored on the foundation has its reinforcing steel bars 43 welded to the anchor steel bars 47 of said foundation. Said tread is connected on the stringer by welding their respective plate connectors 48 and 49 correspondingly anchored to both by anchor steel bars 50. In assembly, said plate connector 44 of a lower stringer is welded to connector 46 of an upper stringer which has its base connected and supported securely by a floor landing 51 through steel bar connectors 52.
An alternative embodiment 53 of the stringer is shown in Fig. 11 which is characterized by a provision of a plurality of generally rectangular apertures 54 angularly oriented along its length. These apertures receive corresponding treads 55 in assembly, the latter being connected to the former by welding their respective plate connectors 56 as shown in Fig. 12.
Fig. 13 shows a perspective view of said precast modular window frame panel which is provided with a window opening 57 and a peripheral flange 58. The opposite longitudinal sides of this panel are provided with corresponding grooves 59 extending fully along its 2 length. A reinforcing steel bar 60 is provided to said frame panel as shown in Fig. 14.
